There isn't much job security in the NFL to begin with--but if a coach has has an option of going to NFL team X or the Arizona Cardinals--they will likely pick the team that hasn't shown they will fire a HC after just 1 season.
The organization has other major issues.
The talent on the roster is terrible....not enticing for a new HC coming in and facing a quick axe if there isn't a quick turnaround.
His teams were completely overmatched. They had one of worst rated teams in NFL history particularly on offense.
He deserved to get canned.
over his nutty tightwad father Bill. Now he may be becoming his father.
But I'm good with this. It keeps Kliff away from JT Daniels.
and people here in AZ really respect and appreciate what he has done by sinking money back in to the team and facilities and community. I use to go to the cardinals games in late 80s when home on Christmas break from ND and sit in Sun Devil Stadium with 22,000 other people and watch my newly adopted pro team lose to the woeful Tampa Bay Bucs.
The team the past 11 years is light years ahead of those teams of the 80s and 90 and early 2000s. I went to both home playoff games in 2009 (2008 season) and wept when the Cardinals beat the Eagles to go to the super bowl.
I have lost no sleep over the firing of Wilks (he mentioned when he was hired that Ty Wilingham was one of his greatest influences.) I think Kingsbury is a reach and will for sure get Steve Keim fired if it doesn't work out.
My dad went to high school with him. He says he was goofy then, too.
